What about the gun in your profile pic Vijay?

Looks like a nice Model 15 (or perhaps Model 18).

Briha sir........... that's an awesome list, especially for an India-based civilian!! You shot with a Mannlicher 375, that gun gets great reviews online, how was your experience?
Cheers!

Now, rack your brain and list what you missed.
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Skyman, instead of just asking for boring ole lists why not ask which guns have people enjoyed shooting the most .... or the guns which most impressed people ?

Personally I'd care more for how well does one shoot rather than how many guns. I've seen many folks that just use a single firearm all their lives and become so adept to using it that it becomes a extension of their self.

That may just be me but I don't see much merit in this discussion...

:? I did ask for their thoughts on it.People could list them and say " " about them, as Briha JI did.Look at his post, he sums up his feelings quite nicely.

The purpose of this discussion is just to see what people have handled in their lifetime.If you want to know something about a particular gun, perhaps you can ask some one who handled it.
